Classic 4-Prong Round Diamond Stud Earrings in 14k/18k Gold
Timeless, balanced, and beautifully secure—the quintessential diamond stud. Our classic 4-prong diamond stud earrings spotlight round brilliant diamonds in a refined four-claw basket that frames the stone with elegant symmetry. The result is a clean, square-profile outline that reads iconic at every size, from a polished 0.50 ctw everyday pair to a commanding 4.00–6.00 ctw statement. Offered in both 14k and 18k gold across yellow, white, and rose, these are the studs you’ll reach for today and treasure for decades.

Why four prongs? The classic four-claw basket is beloved for its harmonious geometry: each claw protects a quadrant of the girdle while leaving the crown open to light. You get enduring security, a timeless look that pairs with everything, and a touch more framework than a 3-prong—perfect for those who prefer a traditional silhouette that never dates. Choose 14k for everyday durability (especially in white gold) and 18k for a richer, luxurious hue.
Styling Tip
Build a signature set: wear 0.50–1.00 ctw for daily polish with a slim diamond pendant; step up to 2.00–3.00 ctw for evening radiance; and if you love presence, 4.00 ctw diamond studs (think “4 carat stud earrings” across the pair) bring red-carpet brilliance with classic restraint.
Select your gold, choose your total carat weight, and make these four-prong classics your forever diamond studs. Discover more sizes and settings in our full collection of diamond stud earrings.

All stated sizes (e.g., 3.00 ctw, 4.00 ctw) refer to the total weight for the pair—approximately half per earring.
14k offers added hardness for everyday wear and a crisp white tone; 18k provides a richer gold color and elevated luxury feel. Both are fine-jewelry standards.
0.50–1.00 ctw is refined and versatile. 1.50–3.00 ctw leans statement while staying wearable. 4.00–6.00 ctw is dramatic yet timeless in the 4-prong classic.
Yes—G–H gives a near-colorless look, and SI clarity provides lively sparkle with excellent value, especially in well-made four-prong baskets.
